[Politics] Chelsea FC - should they be allowed to continue?

I believe it would be down to a vote by the league clubs to have them suspended.

Would enough clubs vote in favour? That's the debate.

It doesn’t seem like this Chelsea charity foundation trustees have agreed to run the club afterall.

A club who’s entire success is built upon a close contact and supporter of Putin - even before this conflict wealth of questionable origin and providence.

I would ban Chelsea from all competition immediately unless there is definitive proof he is not running them and all funds from Russia / Abramovich have been removed.

This conflict is bigger than whether football fans will be upset about it. It would send a huge message. The whole owning of Chelsea has been a slow process of Russian acceptability in the West.

Every peaceful option possible has to be taken.

I disagree, it's not the clubs fault, just the owners.
Why should the fans suffer, because their club is owned by a fan of a maniac bent on world domination, seemingly so.

I know it's slightly left field, but when Belotti and Archer decided to screw our club over, it was the fans who suffered.

Chelsea have every right to keep going.

Compared to what Ukrainians are going through, is football fans suffering that big a deal - really, in the great scheme of things?

I mean we have talk of sending troops, military hardware, harshest sanctions ever, but we can’t upset a few football fans?

So if this was our club in a similar position, I cannot see the multitude being happy at sanctions being levied at our door, all because of a friend of a friend.
Yes it is a damn shame to what is happening to the Ukranians, but world politics shouldn't be layed at the door of a football club.

If this was our club, I’d walk away. I’d feel very uncomfortable being part of a club linked to the Russian leader.

I agree.

Also, how does 'sports washing' work with Abramovic exactly? He can't enter the UK, now. Everyone (apart from Chelsea fans) think he's a tedious rich nonentity at best. I thought sports washing was a means of spreading your doctrine or poplularity or commercial position by using club ownership to open doors that would otherwise be closed. Like that very popular former owner of Newcastle, and all the way back to that very popular Peter Swales at Citeh. (Sorry, I don't think sportswashing exists - rich owners on ego trips (or asset strip-trips as in the case of Archer), more like it. Or maybe they just like football - turning blood money into negociable bonds through football ownership is not anything I have seen - but perhaps I'm naive; or maybe sports washing is simply an ill-chosen term for something else that eludes me)

And have we yet resolved whether his daughter tweeted in favour of Ukrain or not? If she did, she and the whole clan are likely to be on the Novichok list. Meaning Abramovic is hardly a supporter of Putin.
